_{Local rockers Trucker Diablo recently released their excellent new album “Fighting for Everything” after a successful Pledge Music campaign (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/3211-ni-rocks-recommends-qfighting-for-everythingq-by-trucker-diablo.html ).}

_{I’d posted a e-mail interview with lead singer Tom Harte back in April 2013  and he’d also been a guest on the show in March 2015 following the release of “Rise Above The Noise”. So rather than do another full interview I decided to get Tom onto the Show for a quick chat and to focus on telling us something about a few of the tracks on the new album. You can hear that conversation and five tracks from “Fighting For Everything” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 29th September – available now via our MixCloud page.}

_{Swedish band Coldspell released their fourth album “A New World Arise” through Escape Music on 22nd September. It has been 4 years since the release of their previous album “Frozen Paradise” in 2013 and the band have returned with another great melodic hard rock offering. I included the track "Forevermore" on the Friday NI Rocks Show this week.}

_{“We Will Align” is the third album from Swedish singer Martina Edoff and it was released through the AOR Heaven label on 22nd September.  Martina Edoff, sometimes referred to as the Nordic Queen of Rock, spent many years as a backing singer and appeared on the Swedish show Fame Factory in 2003/04. Since the release of her first solo album in 2014 she has been developing a growing fanbase in the AOR market. I played the track "Champions" on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 11th August.}
